ECIS2020 - Call for Papers and Panels.
Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity in a Digitizing World.
June 15 – June 17, 2020, Marrakech, Morocco.
The aim of ECIS 2020 is to form a meeting place for people in the
IS field to discuss fundamental and innovative issues related to
Information Systems. The conference theme is Liberty, Equality,
and Fraternity in a Digitizing World. As the United Nation’s 2030
sustainable development goals highlight, we live in a world where
not everyone enjoys the freedoms commonly argued to be a human
right (like freedom of speech, of religion, of assembly); where
eradication of poverty and inclusiveness are still far from a
reality; and where loneliness and isolation remain a common
experience for many. Digital technologies are sometimes presented
as at least part of the solution for helping to drive towards a
sustainable and inclusive future. Yet at the same time, digital
technologies have also been identified as a threat to our freedoms
(e.g., in relation to our privacy), to fairness (e.g., with the
digital divide decreasing the economic opportunities for some, and
with robotization causing unemployment levels for others), and to
community (e.g., with social media reducing face-to-face
relationships between people even while online connections may be
increasing). In other words, the consequences (both intended and
unintended) of ever-more pervasive digital technologies in our
work and personal lives in relation to creating a more inclusive
and sustainable world are not straight-forward. For this
conference, then, we are especially interested in papers that
discuss and expand our understanding of how digital technologies
are influencing and impacting fundamental human values, whether at
the individual, the organization and/or the societal level.
Submission and publication process
We invite full research papers, research in-progress papers and
panel proposals.
All papers need to be submitted to one of the tracks that
constitute the ECIS 2020 program.
Submission guidelines, the submission template and a link to the
submission system will be available at the conference web site

An author may contribute to up to a maximum of three paper
submissions.
The submission system will be open in early October.
Both full research papers and research in-progress papers,
accepted, and presented in interactive conference track sessions
(or posters), will be published in the ECIS conference proceedings
and made available in the AIS Electronic Library
(aisel.aisnet.org/ecis).
